What a better way to snack heavily with some meat, veggies, flavor stacked nachos?! Easy to make and messy to eat!
Ingredients:
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 whole Yellow Onion, Diced
- 2 pounds Ground Beef
- 1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 can (14-5 Ounce) Pinto Beans, Chili Beans, Or Ranch - Style Beans
- 1/2 cup Hot Water
- Tortilla Chips
- 1-1/2 cup Grated Cheddar Cheese
- 1-1/2 cup Monterey Jack Cheese
- 6 whole Roma Tomatoes, Diced
- 1 whole Jalapeno, Diced Finely
- 1/2 bunch Cilantro Leaves, Chopped
- Juice Of 1 Lime
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 whole Avocado (pitted And Diced)
- Sour Cream (optional)
Preparation Instructions
1) In a skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and half the onion. Cook it until starting to soften, then add the ground beef. Cook the meat until it's totally browned, then drain the fat.
2) Add the chili powder, paprika, cumin, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Add the beans and hot water and stir. Reduce the heat to low and simmer while you prepare the other ingredients.
3) To make the pico de gallo, combine the other half of the onion with the tomato, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir it together and set it aside.
4) To build the nachos, place a layer of tortilla chips on a platter or plate. Top with a layer of the beef/bean mixture, then all but 1/4 cup of the cheddar cheese. Add another layer of chips, another layer of the beef/bean mixture, and the Monterey Jack cheese. Add a final small layer of chips, then a small layer of beef and beans, then a final sprinkling of cheddar.
5) Microwave in 45 second increments until the cheese is melted and bubbly. (You may also place the platter into a 325 degree oven if it's heatproof. Just leave it in until the cheese is melted.)
6) Immediately sprinkle on the diced avocado and plenty of pico de gallo.

@shoenami Ahahahahaha! I won't lie, I do like Taco Bell's nachos. Although, I love getting nachos at the authentic Mexican restaurants. Man, they load it up with wonderfulness. @miranpark88@kristenadams LOL! Yes, Nachos and Guac are a great combo indeed.

@YinofYang@shoenami taco bell is also really good sometimes when you are kinda hungover or drunk but you just want to get some fast food hahahahahaha but the real stuff is when you are ready to eat good and be happy after that perfect meal
